Exams in Math, Science History, and Spanish
History- 100/100
Math 96/100
I am not really happy with the math score.
History Test Grade- 100/100
Science Fiction
We are starting science fiction in English. What do you think when you hear the term “Science Fiction”? Do you think of futuristic things, shiny and metal things? Post what you think Below.
The father of Sci-Fi is HG-Wells when he wrote the War of the World. Asimov wrote I, Robot. In class, we are reading I, Robot. Many of the inventions like artificial intelligence were invented based on the imagination of Isaac Asimov. Did you know that robots were not even invented before Asimov wrote I, Robot? Anyway, what books have you read on the genre of Science Fiction? What movies?


Math Quiz Grade- 93/100
Decent grade, but not enough, I have a math test tomorrow.

Emirates Airline of the United Arab Emirates are one of the largest international and fastest growing airlines in the world. Last year, they ordered 120 Airbus A350XWBs. They also have 55 Airbus A380 Super Jumbo aircraft on order, and Tim Clark, the CEO of Emirates, said he would double that order if Dubai Airport could handle it. Is this growth sustainable? Do you think that all of those aircraft will be delivered? The oil prices are high right now and is Emirates growing a rate that will cripple the company? I think that part of the reason that they are growing so fast is because that they have the advantage of having an oil state backing the company. I do not think that the number of passengers they believe they will carry will ever materialize. They order plane after plane, and do no seem to evaluate the cause. By ordering these large amounts of aircraft, they are being smart with Boeing, but I believe 50% of the aircraft ordered might never be delivered. Sure Emirates Airline is raking in extra profits, but compared to Singapore Airlines, which has a smaller fleet of aircraft, they make nearly the same. Why? Emirates, which has a much larger fleet should be able to earn more, right? Yeah, but not by much. Emirates is depending on tourism to rise, but as ticket prices rise, more and more people are staying home and not traveling by plane. I hope the numbers Emirates needs will materialize, but it seems very unlikely that the Middle East can generate that much tourism. What do you think? Please Comment

History Exam- Chapter 17, the civil war
Do you think Hillary Clinton should quit? I do not think so. I actually buy her argument that she would do well among white blue collar workers. I think that group will be vital in order for the Democrats to win the white house. Obama is a great candidate, and I have no doubt that he will be the nominee. I think Clinton’s Argument is good, but Obama is going to win. I recommend Barack to choose a running mate that is appealing to blue collar workers, but Clinton is not one of them because that would mean more Clintons in the white house. The answer to the question is that Hillary absolutely has the right to run, but she has to know she is hurting her party. If the race continues to the convention, you can be certain that John McCain would win the white house.
